Create your first Reels on Instagram
This Tuesday June 23 marks an important date for Instagram with the launch of Reels. This new function allows subscribers to create and broadcast short videos. Although this concept is far from new, Instagram is counting on its creative effects to attract new subscribers, especially among the youngest.
From its launch, the Reels feature (film reels in English) has a huge catalog of music. And this is far from a detail. Music is the number one factor in creating a fun and engaging video..
The animated sequence can then be enhanced with video effects like Mouth face, pride frames and many other filters. The application also has a speed mode to adjust the speed of the video. The options are numerous but rest assured, as always Instagram has done everything to make its video editing tool as simple as possible.
